Tumbling

Tumbling:

We have an AWESOME Tumbling program.

Tumbling is different than gymnastics, we only use floor mats. We do not have ski floors, foam mats etc. Our Tumbling teaches students how to tumble without needing the extra bounce that ski floor’s or spring floor’s provide. This helps students to be able to tumble and not to mentally rely on props. Our tumbling program is NOT age based like dance classes, with the exception of our youngest classes. It is based on tumbling skills. Tumblers 6 and under are required to start in the 3-6 year old classes.

Students 7 and older are required to start at Level 1. As they progress and develop the skill WE WILL MOVE THEM AT ANY TIME!!! We do not wait for the next session to begin. It is better to start a student at a lower level and allow them progress than to start them at a higher level and have to bump them down. Our goal is to build esteem.

Level 1

Beginning level for all students 7 and older.

Level 2

Students should demonstrate solid cartwheel, roundoffs, handstand forward rolls, be able to go into backbend kickover without spotting. Working on backhandspring with spot.

Level 3

Students should demonstrate all Level 2 skills and have solid backhandspring without spotting. Working on multiple backhandsprings, ariels. 

Level 4

Demonstrate all the skills in Level 3, working on multiple backhandsprings, whips, tucks, ariels, front ariels. 

 

TUMBLING IS EXCELLENT FOR ALL BOYS, it will help them develop coordination that will help their future in all kinds of sports.

Tumblers will go barefoot. They should wear longer shirts, and athletic attire, such as cotton capri’s, lycra outfits etc. We have some AWESOME TUMBLING CLOTHING in the office. Girls should pull their hair into a pony tail and avoid bows that hurt when they roll on their head. We do NOT allow: immodest clothing, levis, skirts, street clothing. Girls should have their hair pulled back from their face.
